I was doing some chores in the basement and my son had on his playlist on random. It played a song I didn't recognize of Shaggy and that stuck in my head. I actually have the album and the mp3 in my collection but I had never listened to this song. After I went to my own computer and listened to it several times, I realized that I want to know what the story is behind it.

Elton John: Candle in the Wind

A friend of mine, or rather the youngest brother of my best friend, is a rapper and has been allowed to *the* Rock Academy in The Netherlands. Even though I don't have much with today's rap/hiphop (I prefer the real Old Skool sh!t), I must say his track is quite good and he has been invited to some radio stations.

Here is a clip of one of his tracks. It's in Dutch, so I don't expect many of you to understand it (not to mention being interested), but I guess anybody with an open mind can tell if it's any good (in it's genre, despite the language barrier).

He doesn't look terribly badass, MoN. I thought all rappers were supposed to be thugs.

Dice · Wed, 3rd Oct '12, 5:25am

That was cool Mon. I didn't understand the words but I watched the whole video because it was cool and the music was catchy.

I wanted to post this video because the title is October and this song haunts me.

dmc · Wed, 3rd Oct '12, 5:25pm

Says it's not available in my country.

Dice · Sat, 6th Oct '12, 5:21pm

It says it's not available in the States? Lol that's a change. Usually I can't watch stuff because its only available in the States

. You could still look up the song dmc - its fairly recent, made within the last few years. There is something appealing about the vocals and the music that makes it kind of haunting and kind of powerful and a little sad.

I love Spotify.

It reminds me somewhat of Osdorp Posse, but a bit more modern and quite a bit milder (but that's not that hard).

I heard this song on the radio for the first time today. I had to turn the radio up really loud and feel it.

It is said that on the night before All Hallows Day, Death himself comes out to the graveyard and plays his fiddle, and the dead rise and dance for him until the break of dawn.

Not sure what the best song ever from the Netherlands is, but this one is probably close. I don't even listen to metal all that much. And I think I heard Quagmire at 2m37.

Also, when I first heard that my namesake played the German/Cross flute, I wasn't all that impressed. But I didn't know Focus when I was 7...

Iggy Pop - Candy

It's a bit chilly, but it's also cloudless. Sunshine in abundance, and it's starting to feel like spring. Bakermat feels like an appropriate artist to listen to right now.

(Skip the first minute of each track if you don't feel like listening to the mix-in beat)

Pure awesomeness!

Master of Nuhn · Fri, 3rd May '13, 2:36pm

That was neat! How come I never heard of that before?!

Couldn't sleep last night. I had been listening to Ska all day long (just like my "brutha-from-anutha-mutha" DR, apparently) and there were all kinds of bands echoing in my head: Madness, Streetlight Manifesto, Aggrolites, Skatalites and Doe Maar. That last one is a Dutch Ska/Reggae/Nederpop (Netherlands' Pop) Band from the early 80s.

MrMermaid · Fri, 3rd May '13, 6:39pm

Congratulations, MoN, you've made a new Focus convert! I loved that song.

Here's my latest favourite find music-wise: full on progressive rock with plenty of metally and poppy influences, and complete and utter fun to listen to. The main songwriter, Jem Godfrey, is also well known for writing such "classics" as Whole Again for Atomic Kitten and That's My Goal for Shayne Ward--but don't let that put you off trying Frost*; his life-long love has always been prog, and he simply brings to the band a fantastic ear and brain for catchy, complex songwriting and expert mixing/production.

P.S. If you prefer singing to instrumentals, persevere past the first track as it is entirely instrumental (and nonetheless really great stuff, at that).

I still think Jan Akkerman is the best guitar player from Holland.
